Ming Dynasty: The fearful Koryo envoys who were hiding in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 198 Latest website: Xu Shi always prided himself on the fact that their country was small and barren, and Ming Dynasty's attack on them was a waste of national power.
Therefore, the Goryeo Kingdom has always been very courteous to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, but secretly it has always been trying to win over the Ming Dynasty.
Carry out the rogue small country model to the end.
However, this time, they found that they seemed to have found a poison.
210,000 taels of silver, just the annual interest is 10,000 taels of silver.
Even if they, the King of Korea, lived frugally and spent half a year together, even trying to increase taxes on the people, they only managed to collect ten thousand taels.
However, this can only be repaid with interest, and they are unwilling to do so.
The first two times they came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, no one reported this matter.
Therefore, everyone in the Goryeo Kingdom thought that His Highness King Yan would not ask them for a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver because of the dignity of the great country.
So, when I came this time, I didn’t bring any money.
Cui Chun never expected that the first time he went to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy, he would be scolded by the Ming Emperor.
Even the entire Ming Dynasty glared at the Korean envoys like him, which was completely different from what the traitor Li Shihou said!
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and all the courtiers treated him like that. When they see the King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, I don’t know how they will scold him!
Thinking about it, Cui Chun's face was filled with sadness.
"Master, we have arrived at King Yan's city."
As the mission ship docked at a port, an official walked into the cabin and reported to the envoy Cui Chun.
"We're still an hour away, so how come we're here so quickly?"
Hearing this, Cui Chun's eyes flashed with surprise, but he also had some doubts. Instead, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the cabin.
As soon as he reached the bow of the ship, Cui Chun couldn't help but widen his eyes and his face was full of shock.
"How could King Yan's city be so prosperous? With so many cargo ships, I'm afraid the docks of the capital of the Ming Dynasty can only have so many ships, right?"
On the side, all the Korean envoys were also shocked.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Cui Chun discovered something again, and couldn't help but look weird.
"The city in front is the city of King Yan? Why is it so small?"
At this time, an official from Honglu Temple came over. Hearing Cui Chun's words, his face was full of pride.
"This is just a wharf in Tongzhou City, not the Beiping Mansion where His Highness King Yan lives!"
"Tongzhou City?"
Cui Chun's face was full of doubts.
The official of Honglu Temple was not prepared to explain too much. If it weren't for what the soldiers below said, he would not have known that this place was just a dock outside Beiping Mansion.
"Master Cui, don't delay, please get off the ship quickly. We are still fifty miles away from Beiping Fucheng. We need to get on the carriage and go to the post station!"
"Fifty miles?"
Cui Chun was shocked again.
"I dare to ask Zheng Sicheng, how can this place be so prosperous and far away from the city of His Highness King Yan?"
Zheng Sicheng smiled lightly and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan has his own intention in this matter. If Master Cui is curious, he can just ask his own questions when he meets His Highness King Yan!"
After saying that, he got off the boat with a straight face.
According to the way these Goryeo envoys searched, they had to pay for the carriage and horse transportation at Honglu Temple. Why didn't they notice in the past that Goryeo was so shameless?
Behind him, Cui Chun and other Korean envoys had stiff expressions, but they did not dare to complain.
There was no need to wait for Zheng Sicheng to send someone to look for the carriage. When so many of them came down, several carriage drivers had already come over.
As soon as Zheng Sicheng and others heard that they wanted to use a carriage, more than ten carriages came over.
Afterwards, Zheng Sicheng took the Korean delegation onto the carriage and headed directly to Beiping City.
At the same time.
A small boat also sailed out from the pier and headed towards Beiping Mansion via the waterway.
Before the Goryeo envoys entered Wanping County, Zhu Di had already received the news.
"Humph!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly and ignored it.
As for the Korean delegation, ever since they left Zhangjiawan Pier in a carriage, they were like country people entering the city, and they were amazed again and again.
"Such a wide and smooth avenue, but it is all paved with cement?"
"This avenue is so clean"
"There are so many carriages and trucks..."
"The city of King Yan is so prosperous?"
"How could King Yan's city be so clean?"
"The King of Yan actually recruited so many people to build cement houses..."
"With King Yan's behavior, why are there so many smiles on the faces of the people in the city?"
"Come here, go check it out quickly!"
"..."
However, when the officials of Honglu Temple and the Korean envoys entered the inn and received reports from their respective subordinates, they all couldn't help but look at each other.
The King of Yan spent so much money and the system was so strict that even if he threw a fruit peel at any time, after being discovered by the patrolmen, he would be slapped with two big boards?...
No one in the entire Beiping Prefecture dared to disobey, even the thousands of Mongolians living in the north of the city. After being hung up and whipped dozens of times, they all became obedient!
So cruel?
"Should I report this matter to Shaoqing?"
Thinking of this, a certain Yousi Cheng shrank his neck. Beiping Mansion has a Chief Envoy, an Inspectorate, a Censor, and a Jin Yiwei. No matter what, it is not his turn to worry about it, as a small Si Cheng of Honglu Temple.
.
However, it is still okay to use this as a talking point.
As for the Korean envoys, after being shocked for a long time, all of them looked horrified.
King Yan is so cruel, they will definitely not be able to please him this time!
